Family Album

Сімейний Альбом

dir. Maryna Tkachuk

Ukraine, 2024 - 80

Ten years ago, British photographer Samara Pearce accidentally learned an incredible story about her family: her great-grandfather, Austrian Alexander Wienerberger, witnessed the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932–1933. He took historical photos of starving Kharkiv with his camera, managed to take them as diplomatic mail to Austria, and thus became the main photographer of the Holodomor in Ukraine. Wienerberger wanted the world to know about the genocide of Ukrainians and stop it, but the Austrian engineer was not heard. After finding her great-grandfather's camera and an album with shocking photos from Ukraine, Samara completely rethinks her career as a photographer. Now her career is completely connected to Ukraine, the Holodomor, and the current Russian-Ukrainian war. Feeling a connection to her great-grandfather, 90 years after the Holodomor, Samara embarks on a creative expedition to the Kharkiv region to take her own photographs of the genocide of Ukrainians that continues to this day.

The Accidental Spy

dir. Anthony Wonke

United Kingdom / USA, 2024 - 97

Days after 9/11, Blerim Skoro was recruited from a Manhattan prison by the CIA and FBI. For over a decade, he was America's infidel mole, roaming the Middle East as a spy deep inside al-Qaeda. Skoro lived in constant danger amongst terrorists, leaking intelligence to the US government in the desperate hope of getting a Green Card and a ticket back to his family in Brooklyn. This is the story of how one man became tangled in a complex geopolitical web, how he risked everything to protect his family, and how he was cruelly betrayed by the country he strived to defend. Despite focusing on themes of espionage and terrorism, “The Accidental Spy” is essentially a love story centred around a family of New Yorkers who never gave up hope.
